How can I change the dpi unattended to 120 instate

Recommended Posts

When Windows (XP pro) is installed you always start with a dpi of 96, the problem is I run a resolution of 1280*960 (crt screen) and I find it more relaxed for my eyes when I us dpi 120, its not a lot of work to change but it would be nice if I can start after the unattended with dpi 120. Does any one of you know how it must be done I thought a reg tweak so I have readied the reg tweak topic but it couldn’t help me.

Just FYI, you can use the above said reg tweaks to set any DPI. For example, I prefer 125 DPI. All you have to do is change the ["LogPixels"=dword:] value to the hex number of your DPI. Ex: mine is 0000007d=125. It's just the DPI in hexadecimel. I believe that the rest of the setting changes stay the same as for above said DPI changes.

I just put this registry tweak in and it doesn't work like you claim. I don't get 120DPI with this registry setting:
